Default clutch type LSD owners: what GL5 gear oil and friction modifier do you use?

I have a 2 way Kaaz LSD clutch type. The kaaz 90 weight GL5 gear oil is wicked expensive. I've switched to using Redline 75W90 GL5 gear oil but was wondering how much Redline friction modifier do you guys add to a full change in gear oil every 40-60k miles? I've heard anything from a capful to 1 part in 4. I haven't tried the friction modifier yet and it seems my LSD isn't grabbing as much.

thanks for your input.

PS some people use Ford or Chevy gear oil friction modifier as well.....

I use castrol 80w90. I don't use any friction modifier.
